At Greenwich Arts Academy, we believe technology should inspire students, not distract them. That’s why we’ve incorporated Piano Express®, a groundbreaking group piano program that uses smart, purposeful technology to help students thrive. Unlike time-wasting apps and games that keep kids glued to screens but far away from progress, Piano Express® creates a structured, engaging environment where practice becomes productive and exciting.
With Piano Express, students develop essential skills faster by focusing their energy on what truly matters. They master rhythms and notes more effectively at home, so their lesson time here can be spent refining technique, exploring musicality, and growing as artists.
The innovative system also encourages consistent practice habits, making it easier for kids to stay motivated and succeed. By combining advanced tools with expert teaching, Piano Express empowers students to unlock their full potential in a fun, positive way. When they graduate up to private lessons, they will be extremely well-prepared (in less than half the time it would have taken to acquire these foundational skills in traditional lessons).

At Greenwich Arts Academy, Piano Express classes are designed to provide a fun, enriching, and highly effective musical experience for every student. Each one-hour session follows a carefully balanced structure, ensuring students make meaningful progress while gaining confidence and enjoyment in their musical journey.
The first 30 minutes of the class focus on personalized student assessment. During this time, students work with the innovative Piano Express app to hone their skills in rhythm and note accuracy. The app allows each student to progress at their own pace, mastering key fundamentals in a positive and encouraging environment.
This segment is highly interactive, as students receive immediate feedback on their performance, motivating them to improve and take ownership of their practice. By dedicating this time to self-guided learning and precise skill-building, students are better prepared to tackle more advanced challenges.
This also means that the teacher can focus their energy on enhancing musicality and technique during the latter part of the lesson.
The second half of the class is where the magic of music truly comes alive. This portion of the lesson dives into critical aspects of musicianship, such as ear training, sight-reading, music theory, and expressive playing. Teachers lead dynamic, group-based activities that encourage collaboration and foster a deeper understanding of music.
Students learn how to connect the dots between technical skills and the artistry of music-making, creating a well-rounded and rewarding learning experience. This segment provides students with opportunities to put their skills into practice, develop their creativity, and gain confidence in their abilities.
It is here that they begin to see themselves as true musicians, equipped with both technical expertise and artistic insight.
Piano Express goes beyond basic piano lessons. By prioritizing smart practice, rapid skill development, and an emphasis on artistry, it ensures every student has the tools they need to succeed. This innovative program keeps kids motivated, engaged, and eager to learn, setting a strong foundation for a lifelong love of music.
Once they complete the Piano Express curriculum, they are completely prepared for in-depth private lessons -- having gotten the preliminaries out of the way in half the time it would have taken relying on traditional instruction. The private instructor receives a student who is ready to proceed immediately and enthusiastically into higher level work. (Speaking as a private piano instructor myself, that's frankly a dream-come-true.)
Whether your child is just starting or looking to refine their skills, Piano Express at Greenwich Arts Academy offers a unique approach to piano education that combines cutting-edge technology with the personal touch of expert instruction. Don’t miss the opportunity to unlock your child’s musical potential.
